People...they're what we're all about.

Emphatic.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan, professor of Government and New York senatorial candidate, returned to Harvard last semester from a stint at the United Nations, and was greeted by a packed house at his introductory lecture on "Ethnicity in Politics." A police officer stood guard at the Sever classroom door to insure that the class would not be interrupted by reporters. When a student attempted to leave in the middle of the lecture, Moynihan yelled, "Sir, sir, someone bring that student back in here." The student was apprehended and returned to his seat.

Later, during his campaign in New York, Moynihan was mashed in the face with a blueberry pie. This incident was unrelated, but perhaps should have been otherwise.

Persistent.

Did you have trouble with your language requirement? It took Eino J. Friberg 46 years to fulfill his. Originally a member of the Class of 1930, Friberg--who is blind--received his Harvard diploma last June.

"The degree didn't seem as interesting as other things I was doing at the time--playwriting and my involvement in the labor movement," Friberg said "So I never took the exam."

Reborn.

Most Harvard undergraduates were wearing pajamas with feet when the T.V. comedy "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" hit the air in the fall of 1959. But at that time Sheila Kuehl, currently a first-year Harvard Law School student, was already playing the part of a college student named Zelda, Dobie Gillis's persistent but successful suitor. Kuehl, now 35, entered Harvard Law in September, after holding an associate dean's position at UCLA since 1971. A professional of one sort or another since childhood, Kuehl finds school a relief compared to working...

Outspoken.

Sherman Holcombe is the former shop steward of the Radcliffe Dining Hall. His outspoken comments on University/employee relations have won him a reputation as a dauntless crusader for reforms and a thorn in the side of the Harvard administration.

Holcombe: "In Harvard Yard there is a statue of the founder of this University. That statue was placed there by workers. The buildings of Harvard were constructed, the trees were pulled down, the land was ploughed up and foundations were put in by workers. Workers were here long before the vast bureaucracy of managers and administrators. When will we obtain the right to be heard, to be consulted on issues' that affect our lives? When will we take our rightful place as members of the Harvard community?"

Efficient.

Stephen Saint John Hall came to Harvard in the summer of 1971 as part of President Bok's original team of vice presidents. He was 36 years old, director of operations support for the Sheraton division of ITT, and dissatisfied with corporate America, when he got the call to take over Harvard's administrative side.

Hall was perhaps best-known at Harvard for his cost-cutting proposals, which included one for the installation of storm windows around campus: "Whether or not such storm windows should be triple-track or double-track has been resolved on the basis that sufficient information does not exist at present to warrant a commitment of several hundred thousands of dollars to install either type on residential buildings until it is known for sure that the awareness and attitudes of the inhabitants of these buildings will allow the storm windows to perform as designed."

Hall now works as a credit investigator.
